BARTHOLOMAEUS’ COMPOSITAE 287 
morus, Rutha, Rampnus for rhamnus, Kastanea, Ysopo and Isopus 
for hyssop, Tycorea for chicory, Draguncia for arum.§ 
We glance a moment at the treatment of Aster relatives by 
Bartholomaeus, venerable among Englishmen for his antiquity if 
not for his sagacity. 
Relatives of Aster 
Artemisia, est mater herbarum. 
Abscinthium, or Absinthium. 
Centaurea major = Centaurea sp. His “Centaurea minor,” 
which he also names “ herba amarissima” or “fel terrae ’’—Pla- 
teario’s names—is doubtless meant for Erythraea Centaurium Pers. 
Enula (Inula Helenium L.) “est duplex, ortolana et campana.”’ 
“Collect the root in the beginning of summer—frincipio estatis, 
and dry it in the sun against coughs and chills,” etc., etc., ‘as is 
written in Macro,* ‘ Enula campana reddit precordia sana.’ ” + 
“Elytropia, Solsequium sive Tychorea,” are his names for 
chicory 
“los campi,’ which Albertus Magnus and De Cantiprato 
were using at about the same date for Zragopogon porrifolius L., 
may have been also meant for that by Bartholomaeus, fol. 146, c. 
De flagello ; writing “ Fos campi, Flos specialis, sic dictus, quia 
Per se crescit in locis incultis nec sulcatis’’; a trace of influence 
of De Cantiprato upon Bartholomaeus. 
* Marco”? here in the 61-line folio is sams a printer’s or scribe’s transposi- 
tion of Macro, the form which Matteo Plateario used in Circa instans ; not Macr’, the 
form occurring in the Breslau codex of Plat 
Bartholomaeus seems to have sitodenk renee as an abbreviation for Macrobius, 
and accordingly Macrobius and not Macer appears in his concluding list of authorities 
(fol. 215 of the 61-line Latin edition; and so in Wynkyn de Worde’s first English 
ition 
t This line occurs in Circa instans, in Plateario’s chapter Enula. It is the first of 
the three lines on si in the Regimen n Salerni, where the other cw. lines are the 
= an integral part of Macer’s poem. ng in 1667 credited the three lines on 
in the Regimen Salerni to «« Macer, lib. I, c. 20,’’ using probably the Cornarius 
cgi of Macer, 1540, or the Rasen: ae of 1590, in both of which the chap- 
are arranged in «« books,’’ Enula occurring as chapter 20 of book 1in both. The 
ee edition was made from a different MS., the codex Bredenbergensis, piped 
Prove to r, 
that pr 
esent the text of Macer at Be:tholenauien time in other variants 
of the precordial line.
